Background: Since the publication of the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) recommendations for the management of large vessel vasculitis (LVV) in 2009, several relevant randomised clinical trials and cohort analyses have been published, which have the potential to change clinical care and therefore supporting the need to update the original recommendations. Methods: Using EULAR standardis

Based on the requirements for advanced treatment and resource recovery of nitrogen and phosphorus pollutants in wastewater, the coupled anammox and hydroxyapatite crystallization (anammox-HAP) process was studied with an aim of achieving high efficiency and low energy consumption during simultaneous nitrogen and phosphorus removal. In the long-term experiments and batch tests, the effects of subst

The aim of this work is to develop a novel green solvent based sustainable process to refine lignin into low molecular weight (LMW) and high molecular weight (HMW) fractions. Lignin dispersity reduction were experimentally determined using four solvent mixtures, and benchmarked against eight pure solvents. Data outputs were used for modelling the integrated fractionation process. Dispersity reduct

This paper discusses adaptive synchronization control for complex networks interacted in an undirected weighted graph, and aims to provide a novel and general approach for the design of distributed update laws for adaptively adjusting coupling weights. The proposed updating laws are very general in the sense that they encompass most weight update laws reported in the literature as special cases, a

This case study on the dark side of communication and place branding explores the Amazon corporation’s highly-publicized competitive search for a city to become their second headquarters (dubbed HQ2). In 2017 Amazon sent an open Request for Proposals (RFP) to cities in North America defining what constitutes an ‘ideal’ headquarters. In addition to offering capital and incentives, Amazon’s ideal ci

Innovation in retailing is under-investigated in academia and yet a highly relevant concern given the current changes in the retail landscape. Although retailing is often characterized by a dynamic and highly competitive environment, retail organi- zations are not often considered as ‘innovative,’ at least when compared with manufacturing industries, or when using exist- ing innovation frameworks

Considering the growth in urbanization, leading to an increase in impervious surfaces, and the changing climate, enhancing the intensity and frequency of rainfall events, existing urban drainage networks—separate or combined sewer systems—are presumed to face substantially elevated hydraulic loads, causing pluvial floods in urban areas. There are several ways to address these challenges. Cities ca

The risk of patients committing violence implies major challenges throughout the care process in forensic psychiatry and brings risk assessments to the fore. The aim was to explore nurses’ experiences of risk assessments for their care planning and risk management in forensic psychiatry. Data were collected through focus groups with 15 nurses. The qualitative content analysis followed a deductive

Each year, fungal storage diseases destroy large amounts of apple, especially in organic orchards. In the present study, antifungal activity of a rye bran-based remedy with 5-n-alkylresorcinols (ARs) was investigated. In 2014 and 2015, ‘Amorosa’ apple trees in an organic orchard were sprayed with a 0.025% AR emulsion pre-harvest, once or twice at different points in time. In addition, emulsions wi

The resurgence of artificial intelligence (AI) has empowered organizations to concentrate their research efforts on enhancing decision-making and automation capabilities. This is being pursued with the goal of increasing productivity, whilst reducing costs. With this, it is perceived that the jobs within these organizations that are considered subject to ‘routine’, or repetitive and mundane tasks,

Fluid-elastic instability of tube bundles is the main cause of vibration failure of heat exchangers. To establish more reasonable and reliable design guidelines for fluid-elastic instability of tube bundles subjected to two-phase cross flow, we investigated experimentally the effects of the flow conditions of the two-phase flow and the geometrical characteristics of the tube bundles on damping, vi

The Advanced Light Source (ALS) at Berkeley Lab has seen many upgrades over the years, keeping it one of the brightest sources for soft x-rays worldwide. Recent developments in magnet and vacuum technology, as well as lattice design (multi bend achromat lattices) appear to open the door for very large further increases in brightness [1]. This could be achieved by reducing the horizontal emittance,

A neural-network-based adaptive control scheme is developed for bilateral teleoperation systems with single-master-multiple-slaves in the presence of dynamic uncertainties and communication constraint. Discrete-time data transmitting communication network with bandwidth limitation and time-varying communication delays is considered and the Round-Robin scheduling protocol is used to orchestrate the

Construction of a genetic linkage map of the laboratory rat, Rattus norvegicus, establishes the rat as a genetic model. Allele sizes were reported for 432 simple sequence length polymorphisms (SSLPs) genotyped in 12 different substrains belonging to nine different inbred strains of rats. However, these nine strains represent only a fraction of the more than 140 inbred strains available. If allele

Aberrant epigenetic changes in DNA methylation and histone acetylation are hallmarks of most cancers, whereas histone methylation was previously considered to be irreversible and less versatile. Recently, several histone demethylases were identified catalyzing the removal of methyl groups from histone H3 lysine residues and thereby influencing gene expression. Neuroblastomas continue to remain a c

New Age är bara ett av många uttryck för en bredare strömning som på senare år vuxit sig allt starkare i det senmoderna Sverige. En grundtanke är föreställningen om att människan har ett "Högre Själv"en kraft som alla kan utveckla för att utnyttja sitt liv maximalt bäst. Det talas alltså inte längre om Gud, utan andligheten uttrycks som "det högre självet", "den inre potentialen", "vem du i sannin

To describe fractures revealed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in a series of skeletally mature patients with radial wrist pain after an acute injury and clinically suspected to have a scaphoid fracture. Additionally, we attempted to assess the diagnostic value of radiographs and computed tomography (CT) in patients with scaphoid and other carpal fractures verified by MRI.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Oberoende av vilket bränsle som används ger förbränning upphov till utsläpp av miljöfarliga gaser, såsom kväveoxider, svaveldioxider, kolmonoxid och oförbrända kolväten. Dessa ämnen bidrar till försurning, smog, växthuseffekten och kan skada ozonlagret. Även koldioxid kan anses som en miljöfarlig gas då den bidrar till den globala uppvärmningen.

Laser-based techniques enable non-intrusive and in-situ measurements to be carried out, in which high spatial and temporal resolution can be obtained. Different parameters related to combustion research can be visualized, such as species concentrations, temperature
